The brush-tailed possum quiz contains 20 questions relating to the brush-tailed possum including its appearance, habitat, life cycle and adaptations. A script for the teacher including the questions and answers is included. The quiz is presented in two ways: As a PowerPoint for whole class participation; As a set of 20 quiz cards intended for a pair-share starter activity where children answer the questions and then swap cards. This process is then repeated until they have answered several questions each. National Curriculum links: Science: Year 3/4/5: Animals, including humans; Year 4/5/6: Living things and their habitats; Year 6: Evolution and inheritance.

The National Curriculum states that children should develop knowledge about the world, the United Kingdom and their locality. They should understand basic subject specific vocabulary relating to human and physical geography and begin to use geographical skills, including first-hand observation, to enhance their locational awareness. In this lesson children define the difference between a route and a journey. Children participate in a quiz about routes and journeys. Children discuss their everyday journeys and research and record them. Children use a tally chart to record transport methods used to take everyday journeys. Children describe where they went on holiday and how they got there. Children research facts about migrating birds such as the osprey or swallow stating their migration routes.

About this unit: This is a ten-lesson unit of English work based on the reading and writing of a non-chronological report. It is intended for Upper Key Stage 2. This unit follows the 2014 National Curriculum objectives which are outlined below. The English objectives covered by this unit are highlighted in yellow. The ten lessons in this unit allow children to explore, discuss and understand a non-chronological report. During the first week children will explore a non-chronological report based on the southern cassowary which is an amazing animal living in Australia!

Through guided and shared activities children will write their own version of this text ensuring they have included the correct language and organisational features. In the second week, children will carry out their own research into a New Zealand animal of their own choice. Children will then apply what they have learned in the first week and plan, write and edit a non-chronological report based on the New Zealand animal which they have chosen and then they will write a non-chronological report independently. Alternatively, in the second week, children could focus on a bird living in the United Kingdom. This would allow children to explore the similarities and differences between the two animals in science lessons. What is included? • A sheet with the National Curriculum English objectives for Y3/4 which are highlighted to help track and assess the progress of the class; to track coverage of the English curriculum and to show what objectives the unit covers. • NEW Printable child-friendly learning objectives for children’s books. • Non-chronological report planning for 10 days including possible science cross-curricular links. • NEW Now includes a PowerPoint containing the lesson structure and learning activities for all 10 lessons of the unit which can be presented to the children. The PowerPoint design and content can be adjusted to suit the needs of a class. • A non-chronological report about the blue penguin which includes details about the blue penguin’s appearance, habitat, diet and lifecycle. • A non-chronological report about the blue penguin that has been simplified for lower-achieving children. • A glossary for the non-chronological report about the blue penguin. • NEW Blue penguin food web diagram showing the blue penguin’s predators and prey. • Boxing-up plan for the non-chronological report about the blue penguin (differentiated on two levels but there is a writing frame for lower-achieving children). • Non-chronological report about the blue penguin writing frame for lower-achieving children. • Success Criteria for non-chronological reports (differentiated on three levels). • Flexible boxing-up plan for independent research into a New Zealand animal or an animal living in the United Kingdom (differentiated on three levels).
